Sometimes I’m asked to create works of a more personalized nature to honor a special individual or meaningful occasion. For these boxes I interview the client about the meaning and intent of the project, and then use the choice of woods, the overall design, the means of opening, and the number and arrangement of compartments to symbolize important facets of the story I have been told. The resulting box is thus a unique and highly personalized celebration of a treasured relationship, person, event or place.
This is a collection of some of the Portrait Boxes I have made over the last twenty-five years.
